Default Thoughts and Prayers

We lost another special person from our Corvette community today. John Kennedy who many of you may have known from the beautiful interior and tops that he put on many Corvettes over the last 50 years passed away earlier today. He was a wonderful friend and will truly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and his closest friends who spent much time with him promoting the love and knowledge they shared for these old cars.

It's a sad day, indeed. I called John last week and had a nice conversation with him, knowing it would be my last. Hard to say goodbye to a friend. Hope to see him again someday.

John went out of his way to extend a stranger a hand-me. I'll always remember the man that helped with my top. Godspeed
